The NSR Game Plan

Getting Started

The NSR Game Plan We want you to succeed and if you follow our plan, you will get positive results. Our experience in contacting and working with college coaches since 1980 has taught us what they need to properly evaluate you as a prospect. Nothing is left to chance. From sending brochures, monthly emails, video links, matching you academically and other complementary promotional efforts, we cover all the bases. But, we need your continued help for our process to have the optimum impact possible.

You only have this one chance to be recruited. It will not come along again. Make the most of it by following the NSR Game Plan which describes in detail how to optimize your NSR experience. The following steps should occur after your proof has been approved and your information is live.

Please contact your scout or our office at 1-800-354-0072 for any question or concerns regarding these forms or your recruiting process. Your participation is vital.

Step 2: Regional Promotion
Platinum (2 Per Year); Elite (1 Per Year)

The Regional Promotion is an effective method for matching you in various key ways to colleges in selected regions. This is an email that is sent out on your behalf to college coaches who meet the criteria you list. This email appears as if it is coming directly from you and as coaches respond, that response goes directly to your email. We will use your Personal Message that you have on your website to address the coaches, so make sure your message reflects a positive image of yourself.

When you log into your portal a drop down will appear. The first box will be labeled Regional Promotion. Here you will choose your Regions and Divisions, your date(s) to send and your subject line for your email to coaches. You may choose 2 Regions and as many Divisions as you would like. Follow the step-by-step instructions. If platinum, you do not have to choose both dates at one time, you can go back later and decide on a second date to send. When you have completed the quota a green check mark will appear. This is an annual service and you will be alerted by a red when it is time for this promotion to be done again. You can check your Recruiting Activity to verify when your Regional Promotion was done. Be sure to check your email and answer any emails that coaches send back to you.

Here you will choose your 50/100 schools for your video link to be emailed to the college coaches. Follow the step-by-step instructions.
